Special Learning Opportunities
A number of special learning opportunities are available to students in LSBE. Internship
experiences offer students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills gained in the
classroom to real problems of management and administration through work in sponsoring
agencies. Some internships offer a salary and other compensation as well as the opportunity
to earn credits through a supervised work experience. Students interested in internship
experiences should contact either their faculty adviser or the director of business
internships for more information.
The Center for Economic Education has as its primary mission the sponsorship of programs
to increase the general level of economic literacy. The focus of the center’s programs is
on pre-service and in-service training for elementary teachers and for business education
and social studies teachers at the secondary level.
The University-wide Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) provides
financial awards to undergraduates for research, scholarly, or creative projects undertaken
in partnership with a faculty sponsor. UROP provides the student with the unique
educational experience of collaborating with a faculty member on the design and
implementation of a project. At the same time, faculty have an opportunity to work closely
with students and receive valuable assistance with their own research.
The school’s Center for Economic Development provides special learning opportunities
for students through its technical assistance programs that serve the region’s small
business community. Often these opportunities are student internships.
The Small Business Institute Program, sponsored jointly by the school’s Center for
Economic Development and the Small Business Administration, also offers opportunities for
students to become involved in applying knowledge and skills to practical problems. Each
semester several student teams work directly with a business enterprise on managerial,
marketing, or accounting problems.
